No site-specific flying guide or USHPA/club site record was found for "Silesia" MT. The name is a small Carbon County, MT census-designated place; the launch sits on low bluffs (~4032 ft MSL) overlooking the valley. Wind window is INFERRED from the paraglidingEarth orientation hint (NE, E, SE octants), so all figures are approximate. Ideal arc centered on E (~90 deg), spanning NE to SE; marginal extends to the cross/edge of those octants. Speed range and gust limits are generic small-foothill paragliding defaults, not site-confirmed. Hazards unknown but typical of low-relief plains/bluff launches: thermal/mechanical turbulence in mid-day spring/summer heating, possible leeside rotor if wind backs to W/SW/N, and gusty frontal passages common to south-central Montana. Best time is likely morning or evening glass-off when the valley breeze is light and laminar; avoid mid-afternoon over-development. Rating/access unknown - confirm with local pilots (Billings-area / Yellowstone Valley free-flight community or Montana Paragliding Facebook group) and verify landowner permission before flying. Treat as low-confidence; ground-truth required.
